Academic Profile

I am an architect/engineer and urban planner educated and working in Europe with past work experiences in Asia (Malaysia, Qatar, etc.). I am the head of subject and chair of the architecture research group at LTU which includes about 25 people with a yearly turn over of 2.5 mEur. My work focuses on the nexus between cities and resources (energy and materials), urban experiments/labs, and participatory design/planning. My aim is to develop knowledge for a more resource-inclusive (resourceful) society. I have worked as PI and co-PI in a number of research projects funded by the Qatar National Research Fund, EU Commission's framework programme, Swedish Energy Agency, Formas, and Vinnova. My work has been published in academic journals and books as well as popularized in other media outlets such as CNN International, Domus, and MONU.
